Tiny amount of wear on high point of King's beard, eyebrow (obv.), and wreath on rider's head (rev.), small nicks in fields consistent for grade.

No signs of mint luster in this condition leave me a bit curious. Would be prudent to check against another .925 florin for ping tone.
High quality fakes are about, but looking at the detail aspect (apart from the lack of luster), seems to be quite OK.

Looks like its been abrasively cleaned.
Grade wise EF.

Thank you for your comments Sel, I truly repect and appreciate your thoughts. Would you think it has been cleaned at all? Could you put an estimate of value on it? Can post more close ups if you wish. Put it on the scales also  Thanks echidna, think you may be right about the abrasiveness of the coin. Sel, did the ping test with another early Florin and it resonates nicely, don't have a fake to compare with though.  Edited by crab eater

It's a pity that it's been harshly cleaned. Why people do this is beyond me as it makes the coin rubbish...

Coin almost certainly genuine as has at least 3 die markers. Grade aUnc but cleaned. Maybe $300 (AUD).
